Didn't you watch the Chelsea game, he out ran and out work virtual every other City player  

I don't believe that. He doesn't have the legs to play out wide. Cant get past a player. The complete opposite of what we need away at a team time Southampton. Need some pace out there.

3 x changes for me: 

 

                        Schmeichel 

Castagne - Amartey - Söyüncü - Thomas 

            Maddison - Ndidi - KDH

         Lookman  -  Daka  -  Barnes

 

 

Will be interesting how Rodgers rotates over the next few games, got to keep some consistency but will also need some rotation. Simplest solution for Vardy/ Daka for me would be to keep Daka on the midweek fixtures and Vards at the weekends. 
 

Again would play KDH over Soumaré who’s played a fair amount of minutes recently and struggled to really impress. 
 

Final change is Amartey in for Evans, as we can’t risk losing him and will likely need Jonny for Villa and Napoli, and Amartey has been solid whenever called upon.

And here's some reality...an exciting season still exists.

If the first half tone from against Watford is repeated at Southampton, could we we just be finding form at the right time?

We'll need Tielemans back asap, add in Justin, potentially, to play a part, Maddison looking like the player we've been missing, Vardy on fire and with Daka rotating and possibly, maybe, why the heck not, dream about having Fofana back in the mix...this is why I find Leicester City impossible not to enjoy. 

 

The Napoli game is perfectly well set up, the Liverpool QF is a bingo game and then some points to be taken from enough of those premier league games....isn't there an optimistic bus where all these thoughts exist?

You could have corrected my 'Armstrog' typo while you were doing it. 

Armstrog is a good player though, we've seen time and time again that players with mis-spelt names from lower leagues can do it in the Prem. Vady, Wirght, and that Tnoey from Brentford looks handy too.

I agree, that's why i wish we kept praet, but since it is what it is and tielemans is injured through him into the fire as an 8, soumare and ndidi are too defensive against Southampton 

 

 

Or.... just play Perez? 

 

I might take pelters for THIS as well but Perez is a better 10 than Praet. 

 

Scored more career goals and registered more career assists in Europe's top five leagues than Praet.

A win here and we have some momentum and are starting to look good, amazing that after a poor start we are still only 5 points from 4th!

 

                        Kasper

Castagne Amartey Soyuncu Thomas

                 Ndidi        KDH

Lookman       Maddison        Barnes

                          Daka

 

Vardy & Evans to play at Villa and Napoli.

We need more energy in the middle of the park to protect our back 4 more. KDH deserves a chance.

With others playing eachother around us we’re either jumping up a few places or we get within 2 points of two of the top 6 with a win here. Would be huge and a massive turnaround. Be nice to see some consistency in results and every win from now until Napoli will boost their confidence. That game is massive isn’t it!

I see this as an easy win……… for Southampton.  We will be dogshit. No intensity. No pashun. No creativity. No pace. No defence. No midfield. A performance lacking all character. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THAT is the best I can do to help things. Hope it works. 🤞

Please just play a midfield for this. 

 

Wilf on his own with the woeful Soumare is suicide. We gotta away with it yesterday only as Watford were so useless at the back and largely seemed uninterested (yet they still walked through midfield at will and got 2 goals)

 

Keeper and back 4

Wilf, KDH, Hamza

Madders, Barnes

I'm afraid I'd have Iheanacho for Lookman every day of the week as he offers so much more. Apart from a few moments of bursting into life and a couple of good passes in the second half again Watford, Lookman was lightweight and hugely insignificant. He can skip past 2 players and lose it to a third or, produce a number of clever little flick ons which look good, but don't actually find one of his own players.

 

Iheanacho is far stronger, can hold the ball up well and is a proven goalscorer. Some may point to the lack of wing play but I honestly don't believe that you have to be symmetrical and have two. Castagne can occasionally provide a bit on the right when able because as have a non productive Lookman or even Perez out there,  you may as well field Iheanacho or even Daka who both offer a genuine threat to the opposition or at least keep them busy.

Just get him back for Napoli. We can get through the next two without him.

Praet always been more of an 8 that can play as a 10 and a cdm if needed (last option not so much in the epl lol bc he's weak but yeah he could in Italian football) but Perez in truth was at his best at Newcastle while playing as a cf, behind rondón i believe. Like okazaki behind vardy. But yeah he's a better 10 than Praet. Agreed on that

I would go along with that side and your strategy. except for one. Amartey for Evans. Don't know if I'd risk that, certainly not to start with.

I'd like to see a couple of changes given the personnel we have missing, I'd continue with Vardy not starting midweek games, especially with playing on that pitch second half and I'd bring in KDH for Soumare, maybe Perez if one of the wingers needs to not start
 

Kasper

Castagne Evans Soyuncu Thomas

Dewsbury-Hall Ndidi

Lookman Maddison Barnes

Daka

How many tickets we sold for this?

Looking at our allocation and seats still available about 2,300 if my maths is correct. That is pretty good for a Wednesday in December.
